Hi my name is Paramjit from England i have had eczema for 18 years I would suggest the following polls or topics for discussion I refuse to date because i have eczema and fear rejection? I cannot get a date because i look different and have facial or body eczema. How many people with eczema have been on dates? How many people with eczema have had a relationship with someone who does not have eczema but have been successful in keeping the relationship going? Should people with eczema marry someone who has the same condition as them? Thank you i hope this helps.Paramjit xx

Ok so you're probably thinking: Who care's what a 14 year old thinks? Like they even know what love is...

First off, no I have not had any relationships. Due to my dad and his gun collection. Hehe. And I'm guessing secondly because of my eczema. What I do know is that it would seem more natural and comforting to have a relationship with someone who has the same condition, but in my heart I know that other people shouldn't care what you look like. I know that who ever I may marry will love me for me and won't criticize me of my appearance. Sorry if I've waisted your time, yet I have though about the same questions and would like to express myself.

I suffered the eczema for many years. And I have tried many kinds of cream. I sincerely recommed the nonsteroid herb cream from CSDCC. It is complete nonsteroid for psoriasis and eczema without any side effect even long time use.

hi people. i'm a 18 yr old from singapore. guess most of us here have social problems. me too. =/ i have ezcema as far as i can remember and it definitely doesn't help when it comes to possible development with people of the opposite sex. i have few and understanding friends. in which i really consider them friends because they do not exclude me, not for my skin. i belong to the severe category, if you count being hospitalized twice serious. i tried all sorts of things, my condition is like a roller coaster. it never gets completely healed, and i have to deal with all these with school work where credentials are very important in my country. life just kinda suck. and all that stress coming from trying to get good academic and non-academic records adds on to the stress for me.

i don't know about you guys out there, i suppose the climate is different. but it gives warmth where you know someone can understand you. very happy to find this site today..

I have had Eczema and severe allergies since I was 5 weeks old, I was horribly teased at school because of the way I looked and the constant trial of dry skin I would leave on the desk tops. My parents tried everything but nothing really worked- I hated those wet wrap bandages that stuck to your scabs over night and then had to be painfully pulled off in the morning! I've been in and out of dermatologies all my life but had a gap of about 4 years between the age of 20-24 when my skin was 'pretty normal' however its now back with evengence. I'd be grateful if you could give me some advice about Azanthioprine as I am concerned about its effects on pregnancy and getting pregnant after use. I'm 30 now and would like a family in a couple of years time but i'm reluctant to start the drug if it may cause difficulties..?
